Koeman is out of contract at Feyenoord at the end of the season and says his future will be resolved by April or May time

Ronald Koeman’s agent has contacted Swansea City to express his client’s interest in taking up the managerial reins in South Wales, according to reports in Holland.

The 50-year-old is currently in charge at Feyenoord, where he has led the Rotterdam club to successive second and third-placed finishes – while they remain in with a chance of winning the Dutch league this season, lying five points behind Eredivisie leaders Ajax.

But Koeman is out of contract at the end of the season and his agent Guido Albers has reportedly told public broadcaster RTV Rijnmond he has been in touch with Swansea to throw his hat into the ring for the manager’s job.

The Swans dispensed with the services of ex-boss Michael Laudrup last week in a shock move, before instilling long-time club servant Garry Monk as boss.

Monk had stated his interest in taking the job on a long-term basis after saying as an “ultimate aim” it would be “great” to manage the club.

Responding to his own link with the job Koeman, who has managed Ajax, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and Valencia in the past, refuted there had been contact with Swansea.
